Protection from previous natural infection compared with mRNA vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19 in Qatar: a retrospective cohort study
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
BackgroundUnderstanding protection conferred by natural SARS-CoV-2 infection versus COVID-19 vaccination is important for informing vaccine mandate decisions. We compared protection conferred by natural infection versus ...
Performance evaluation of novel fluorescent-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for rapid detection and quantification of total anti-SARS-CoV-2 S-RBD binding antibodies in infected individuals
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The vast majority of the commercially available LFIA is used to detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies qualitatively. Recently, a novel fluorescence-based LIFA test was developed for quantitative measurement of the total binding ...
BNT162b2 antigen dose and SARS-CoV-2 omicron infection in adolescents
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Other)
COVID-19 vaccine antigen dose might affect protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection,1, 2 but direct evidence to quantify this effect is absent. We conducted a matched, retrospective, cohort study using a regression ...
Long-term COVID-19 booster effectiveness by infection history and clinical vulnerability and immune imprinting: a retrospective population-based cohort study
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
BackgroundLong-term effectiveness of COVID-19 mRNA boosters in populations with different previous infection histories and clinical vulnerability profiles is inadequately understood. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness ...
Protective Effect of Previous SARS-CoV-2 Infection against Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 Subvariants.
(
Massachusetts Medical Society
, 2022 , Article)
The BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) B.1.1.529 (omicron) variant have shown the capacity of escaping from neutralizing antibodies.1 These subvariants had an ...
Diagnostic Efficiency of Three Fully Automated Serology Assays and Their Correlation with a Novel Surrogate Virus Neutralization Test in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic SARS-COV-2 Individuals
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Abstract: To support the deployment of serology assays for population screening during the
COVID-19 pandemic, we compared the performance of three fully automated SARS-CoV-2 IgG assays: Mindray CL-900i® (target: spike [S] ...
Estimating protection afforded by prior infection in preventing reinfection: Applying the test-negative study design.
(
Oxford University Press
, 2023 , Article)
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to use infection testing databases to rapidly estimate effectiveness of prior infection in preventing reinfection ($P{E}_S$) by novel SARS-CoV-2 variants. Mathematical modeling ...
